    Problems with data in scatter line graphs

    Hi,

    I'm looking at data in relation to July (1-31). I have data for the days 21-31, 22-31 and 25-31. I've inputted my data in the corresponding numbered rows. However, when I go to create my graph (scatter line graph) the data is all offset by a day. So the graph shows 20-30, 21-30 and 24-30, respectively. How can I remedy this? I've attached a screenshot to help explain.

    Many thanks

    Lony

    are you confusing row number of the sheet with data point value?

    Your data starts in row 2 not row 1 of the sheet.

    OK, so what do you want plotted on the X-Axis? I assume that you want days of the month. So, for the Plymouth & Davenport Weekly, what date do you want the first two cases to appear against?

    OK, figured it out. I'm a bit slow today. This should be what you want. You hadn't specified the X-axis correctly. If this is OK, please mark the thread as closed & (if I've helped) click the "add reputation" star below my name at the foot of this post.

    If it's not OK, ask again!!
